TR 2 gr Lranslation of a letter from the Count Survillicrs, (loscfih Bonaparte, ) on the subject of the loss of his house by fire. Point Breeze, Jan. 8, 1820. Vitliam Snowden Esq. Judge and Justice of the fieace, Bordentown. le Sir—You have shown so much interest «me since I have been in this country, latly since cvent of the 4th doubt it will afford you kaowa to your feliow citl- bow much { feclall they have donc ivf Int on that oc:astoi. Absent mysell fiom my house, they collected by a spon- tuneous movement on the first appearance of fire wilchh they combatted with united courage and perseverance ; and, when they fotad twas impussible to extinguish it, cx- ted themselves to save all the flunes had nol devoured, before their arrival and ‘mine All furniture, statues, pictures, mo ey, plate, gold, jewels, linen, books and in 01 every thing that was not consumed, 28 3¢H Mos! scrupulously delive ed into the hands of the people of my house. In the night of the fire, and during the nex! toy, there were brought to me by labosuring men, drawers in which I have found che proper quantity of picces of money and medals, of gold and valuable jewels, which night have been taken with impunity.— "Lis event has proved to me, how much the wnhabitants of Bordentown, appreciate the interest I have always felt for them ; aad shows that men in general, are good when they have not been perverted in thetr voulh, Ly a bad education; when they mainiain their dignity as men; and feel that greainess is wn the soul, and depends £ Lie i . ailll Co GC : $i ry L500 Ld 4 cannot pleasure to ake i Z208 1 .

Cotton from Alabama.——Among the many avenues to conymercial dealings and benef cial intercourse which are constantly open ing, as onr fine westen regions are brought under the operations of industry, the cir cumstance that supplies of excellent cotten ‘e now tiansported to this place from the northern parts of the state of Alabama, 1s the most recents though not the least im- portant. Large cousiznments of this valu able staple are hersatter expected to be ade fom the same quarter, The effect ol lhls new accession to the trade of our town, will probably be to excite so much competition as to place it on a fair level with other commoditics on the score of price ; by which means amore free and gen- eral use can be made of it, not only in man- uiictar ng establishments, but in multitudes 1 families for various domestic purposes our cotten manufactures are to flourish, > raw material must be furnishied on fair ‘ms; aud this caunot be expected to take vce un'il competition shall produce some correctives with respect to price. a natural conscquence of the nereasing supplies of this article in the U. vtates, which has already experienced a material depression in foreign markets, owing, in.party to the unusail quantities raised In other countres. Large districts both of the state of Alabama and Tennessee will most likely be induced to seck a mark- et Hr much of their cotten among the man- ufactuing establishments of the Ohio coun- try, in consequence of the ease and cheap-| ness with which it can bs transported by water, and fram the steady and growing de- mand which the rapid multiplication of in- habitants, and % corresponding increase of wealth and improvements must necessarily requirg. Noris it unreasonable to suppose that much of the raw materi cun Le con- venieatly paid for in manufacturing goods and 10 the surplus produce of our soil. The great southern sweep of the Tennes- sce river presents a commodious aud easy channel of communication to an extensive area of fine countty congenial to the growth of the cotten plant, comprising in its course large portions of Tennessee and Alabama. iZvery day furnishes to our countrynicn some new apd interesting views of the bens ficience and liberality of nature, in the grondenr, extent and positions of the grea: western rivers. Bul their real utility can be estimated only by Future generations When their banks shall sparkle with towns and cities, and the population ofthe country shall be « like the stars of Heaven for num - ber,” then will our magnificent s »eams be more correctiy appreciated : as «they will then give employment and support to in- humerable multitudes.

Mr. Strother offered the folicwing joint resolution. : X Kesolved by the Senate and House of Repiresentalives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Secret Journal ot the Old Congress, from the date of the ratification of the definite treaty of peace between the United States and Great Britain, in the year 1783, to the formation of the present government now remaining in the office of the secretary of state, be published under the direction of the President ot the United States, and that one thousand copies thereof be printed and deposited in the library, subject to the disposition of congress. The resolution haying been twice read, Mr, Strother moved that it be ordered 10 ve engrossed and read a third time to-mor- row. He saw no objection to its taking this course, which would afford the oppo- nents of the proposition, if it had any, the opportunity fully to urge their objections; and would have the advantage, should it meet the favor of the house, of being acted on at once, and notlost or endangered by the delay that would attend the usualcourse of commitment to a committee of the whole &c Mr. Smith of N.
